Continuous darkness, outer beings, apocalypse. What about dreams and not seeing the reality of things? Recently Argentina has produced some fairly good horror films. A new movie entitled INTO THE ABYSS has appeared with a pretty interesting trailer and a very cool poster. Though releases in its home country in 2022, it finally has made its debut in North America.
In a city of complete shadows, Bannon (Martin Rispau) replays phone messages of a woman talking about the darkness falling. Trying to survive, he hears on walkie-talkie through random survivors that there is daylight with only certain areas pocketed with the darkness. He sets off through the streets and buildings trying to get to the outer edges of the city in hoping to finding deliverance.
INTO THE ABYSS is directed by Matias Xaier Rispau from a screenplay he co-wrote by the ambiguous Boris C. Q. At points the movie has some interesting visual effects including giant Lovecraftian monsters and mutant humanoids. Receiving mixed reviews from the limited number of writers that have seen the film, your co-hosts take a blind look at a random VOD release and give their thoughts.
